IOC chief concerned over torch relay protests

NDTV CorrespondentMonday, April 7, 2008 (Paris)The Olympics Committee chief Jacques Rogge has said he is very concerned about the protests disrupting the Olympic torch as it makes its way around the world.

For the first time he has called for a rapid and peaceful resolution to the unrest in Tibet.

''I am very concerned with the international situation and what's happening in Tibet. The torch relay has been targeted. Violence for whatever reason is not compatible with the values of the torch relay or the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee calls for a rapid peaceful resolution in Tibet,'' Rogge said.

His remarks came a day after the security for the Olympic torch relay was breached several times in London on Sunday.

Even there is issues in China, we have our own way to handle. Get used it - China is getting strong and will get stronger. Do not use human rights and other issue to hide your own agenda, every Chinese knows this!!

“Whether the Chinese government admits it or not, there is a problem. The problem is a nation with ancient cultural heritage is actually facing serious dangers,” he said. “Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place.” By His Holiness The Dalai Lama

If man will only realize that it is unmanly to obey laws that are unjust, no man's tyranny will enslave him. This is the key to self-rule or home-rule. By Mahatma Gandhi

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our breasts than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. Violence is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent. By Mahatma Gandhi

Far better than cowardice would be meeting one's death fighting. By Mahatma Gandhi

"Negroes are human, not superhuman. Like all people, they have differing personalities, diverse financial interests and varied aspirations. There are Negroes who will never fight for freedom. There are Negroes who will seek profit for themselves alone from the struggle. There are even some Negores, who will cooperate with the oppressors. These facts should distress no one. Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, profiteers, freeloaders and escapists. The hammer blows of discrimination, poverty and segregation must warp and corrupt some. No on can pretend that because a people may be oppressed, every individual member is virtuous and worthy. The real issue is whether in the great mass the dominant characteristics are decency, honor and courage." By Dr. Martin Luther King
